Jaume Collet-Serra is the director of The Riverpilot, and hopefully he’ll be directing future episodes, too. You may know his work if you’ve ever seen Orphan or House of Wax. Orphan was scary as hell and Paris Hilton’s role in House of Wax was too. Now Collet-Serra’s production company is working on an apocalyptic horror pic.

“THE RIVER is a solid sleeper, a pleasurably nerve-rattling B-movie creepfest set on the Amazon. ABC is holding it for midseason, where at the very least it should stand out from other network arrivals.”

“The River,” an ABC television show described as an adventure-mystery set in the Amazon jungle, is relocating production to Hawaii, network representatives said yesterday.

The pilot episode for the show, which stars Bruce Greenwood as a wildlife expert and TV host who goes missing, was shot in Puerto Rico, but plans to move to Hawaii had been rumored since March. A network spokesperson confirmed the relocation today, adding that shooting will begin in August with the series premiere scheduled for mid-season.
